Maddox visits Angelina in the hospital

We’ve seen Zahara and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt dropping by the hospital to visit Angelina Jolie who is still under observation, but now we get to see Maddox being slipped inside as well to go see his Mom.

I’m sure the kids are being kept busy back home at the chateau. With four of them together, plus all that space to run around outside, they won’t have much time to be bored, so that will keep their mind off the fact that Angelina is still in the hospital. Still, I’m sure that they enjoy being able to see her periodically throughout the day so that they can spend a bit of time together even if she can’t be at home with them. She likely calls them at bedtime as well to say good night – I know I did that when I was in the hospital after having my second baby, and it helped to call my oldest at 8 pm to say good night to her at the end of the day, even if I had just seen her an hour earlier.

Some people have asked whether this is really normal, for Angelina to be hospitalized. I’m not a medical professional but I think it’s probably neither normal nor abnormal. Several people have said this is standard procedure in France, even though I know several people who didn’t have to be in the hospital for so long before having twins. It’s also possible that Angelina had some signs of labor and they weren’t quite ready to deliver the babies yet, or she might have some pre-eclampsia. Both pre-term labor and pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure and protein in the urine) can indeed be serious but not if you’re being closely monitored. If that is the case then the doctor was being honest by saying that she’s fine and everything is “normal” while still requiring a stay in the hospital.

As long as the babies stay in there as long as they can, that will be great.
